I did not know him as I don't visit XP General only basic and newuser,
but of course I have come across his name and postings around about. I am very sorry to hear of his death and I'm sure he will be greatly missed by everyone.

That's a damn shame, David.
Not least because he was the best man on XP.Gen. Shane "David Candy" . wrote in message ... That's good to know. I can't do anything but some need to step forward. I still don't see his name (in XP obviously 98 excluded from my comments - how about adding XP.Gen to the thread over there?). I've used OE's search searching for his last name for the last 7 hours and have had no hits. I tried to review all posts but realised quickly that was impossible. I only have hearsay so can't make it an official annoucment. I believe a thread at jim's site talks about it http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=122...asc&highlight= Some have told me the announcement was made here (?) -- ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.microscum.com/mscommunity/ "JAR" wrote in message ...

I believe you did all you could. Took me a while to figure out who you are talking about. Alex was definitely one of the BEST people on XP.gen (sorry, I don't read the other groups) and a pure expert in disk and file systems. I will always be greatful for what he has taught me. I am definitely shocked at the news of his demise. Rest in peace Alex. Steve |

On this sad day, it was a fitting tribute to share such a story, that showed his dry wit. Please repost it here, to share it with this group. My deepest and most heart-felt condolences to you, and all that loved Alex. -- Kurtis Kirsch |

I echo Gary's sentiments. I do not care for your attitude and hope and pray

Kurt, can you do me a favor and talk some sense into David Candy because you
are a moderator and David Candy can be really annoying. Thanks in advance for the great work over at the XP General newsgroup in keeping trolls at Bay. I for one greatly appreciate it.

Jim you are doing great. David can be annoying and already has been mean to
me in the XP General newsgroup. I now consider David Candy a troll until I am proved wrong by someone else.
